rather use the traditional "diff-tree -m -r" to look at diff

Yes, please preserve this behaviour.
I pulled today the diff-tree -c semantic change and now I see, in git archive:

Please _do not_ change this behaviour to make -m a no-op as stated in
"diff-tree -c raw output" patch message
(ee63802422af14e43eccce3c6dc4150a27ceb1a3).
qgit has the possibility to switch from "see all merge files" to "see
interesting only", so
we really need that difference between 'git-diff-tree -r' and
'git-diff-tree -r -m'
Anyhow I am very happy with this change because it broke qgit ;-) but when fixed
it will have a lot of code removed and will be faster too.
Thanks
Marco
